Versus pits your favorite devices head-to-head [App of the Day]

by John_A

The Internet is good for a ton of things, but comparing two like (or unlike) devices isn’t usually one of them. If there isn’t a popular news story written about it, you may find yourself looking up spec sheets that look nothing alike, trying to decipher which device is better. There’s a new app called Versus, and it aims to make your experience a bit better.

Versus does one thing, and it does it very well. It’s a comparison engine that’s super easy to use. Type in the name of both devices you’re comparing, and check out the results. Swipe to each side of the devices shown to view the winning specifications. If you scroll down far enough, you can see users’ submissions as well. To submit your own reason, pull down on the spec sheet, like you would normally do to refresh.

Versus compares phones, tablets, cameras, and much, much more. It’s super easy to use, and offers it in a beautiful way.

Unfortunately, the app is still in Beta. You can join the Google+ Community, then install it from the Play Store after you become a tester. If you’d like to join, you can access the Community here.
